Get your votes in to name the new beaver at the Paul H Douglas Center for Environmental Education. What do you think the beaver should be named?

Help Us Name Our New American Beaver! 🦫

There’s a fresh face in the taxidermy exhibit at the Paul H. Douglas Center for Environmental Education… and this charming beaver needs a name!

Swing by the center to cast your vote in person and help us choose the perfect name for our newest addition celebrating the wildlife of Indiana Dunes National Park.

Whether you name it, “Lodge Legend,” “Chewy McChewface,” or something totally new—your vote counts!

📍100 North Lake Street
Gary, IN 46403

📅 Voting available during open hours

Come explore, learn, and help us give this beaver a name to gnaw on. 😉

Let the naming begin! Again, your vote only counts if it’s in person at the Douglas Center.

Image description: The image shows a taxidermy beaver holding a small stick in its front paws, standing on a display base. Next to it is a cardboard box decorated to look like a cartoonish beaver, with paper teeth and a flat tail attached to the top. A piece of paper with text and a black pen are placed in front of the box, suggesting a naming contest or activity. The background shows windows, a doorway into another room, and a few photos on the wall.
